show moreWhat is key in the WeWork scandal is the lack of a symbiotic relationship between innovation and risk-based governance. In my mind, one can’t effectively thrive without the other fueling a competitive tension that forces exceptionalism in both.

The Risktory Podcast is created, written, produced and hosted by Jacinthe A Galpin.
